Bob Stickney, the Apollo Belvedere of
the modern arena, accomplished the great
!eat at the age Of IA years, while practicing
IN the hippo Theatre, on Fourteenth street,
New York, i'll 1915. William Stein, at the
time an attache Of the circus, and who now,
with his wife, gives ''second-sightn per-

Stickney alghted
Sam Bernhardt, of Columbus, O., a re-
tired leaper, while travelling with the Cooper
and Bailey circus, in 1910, became dissatis-
fed with the double somersault feat, in
which he was an adept, and burned to per-
form the triple. At Toledo he announced
that he would make the attempt, and he did
SO, Notwithstanding the advice of his friends
not to try it. Sam made splendid high
leap, actually turned three times, but landed
ON his seat instead of his feet.
BOLD OFFER.
Bob Stickney, who is now travelling with
torepaughs circus, was interviewed in
Detroit last Decoration Day. He said:
Il did it once, as related in your article,
and, although | have confined myself to
riding and have done no leaping for seven
years, can do it again. get the highest
wages in the profession, $500 a week, but if
any circus manager will give me $500 a
week will engage to attempt a triple at
every stand during the tenting season. |
do not mean to make the attempt more
than once day, and only in the day time"
Would you need any improved or
original apparatus" was asked.
mo. l would simply need the usual
spring board at five or six feet from the
ground but l would need a strong net with
fine meshes. Farlla introduced the net
when he came to this country in 1873, and
in Barnums circus fired a woman out of
cannon into the air. It was really very
strong spring which elevated the per-
former. The net into which she fell made
the feat possible. Ii ever the triple somer-
sault can be made a daily performance it
will be by means of the net. If | under
took it | would have a straw mattress ten
feet square and one foot thick placed on
the ground about twenty feet from the
spring board On this / would have a
feather mattress of the same length
and width, but about two feet thick. On
the top of the latter and touching it l would
have a strong net with meshes not more
than once inch apart aud strained perfectly
tight. For $500 week | wouldmake a
daily attempt at the afternoon performance
to accomplish this feat, but it would seem
that leaping was going out of fashion now
adays Since we had a fatal accident at
the opening of the season Forepaugh has
discontinued the leaping act altogether"
That a triple somersault was ever accom-
plished before a circus audience after due
announcement, and under the same condi-
lions as double somersaults are performed,
may be seriously doubted.

The Literary School Marin.
From the New York Graphic.

There was a romantic marriage out in st.
Louis the other day, the bride being Miss
McLane, rather clever New England
woman, and the groom t. L. Green, a
miner, from the chihuahua country of
Mexico. The engagement was one Of long
standing and Miss McLane had journeyed
all the way from Europe TO meet and wed
the man OF her choice. She made the long
trip unattended, and would probably have
have reached ST. Louis In no other direc-
ton. The heroine of this wedding Is not
unknown TO the literary world. She taught
school up and down the Massachusetts coast
for number Of years, writing sketches
and serials for the magazines batween
times. Finally some five or six years ago,
the plucky little schoomarnf determined to
write a novel that would be bit of a
departure from the milk-and-water brand
of the school then in vogue, Accordingly
she wrote "Cape Cod Folks The
book sold like wildflre for q couple Of
months and promised to be the sensation Of
the year It's characters were portrayed 80
true 10 life as TO be recognizable, and In
many Instances true names Of persons were
used without resorting 10 aliases. The work
was satirical, caustic and all fire. and every
old busybody and gossip OF the Cape, IRE
spective of sex on social standing, came in
Tor naming over mo cOais. lhen came an
avalanche Of libel suits, brought by the
Cape Cod folks against the publisher Of the
volume. The publisher investigated, found
II useless 20 attempt to fight toe suits and
compromised by destroying tho unsold
copies Of the work, paying some OF the sian
dered ones sums Of money and going into
bankruptcy Miss McLaiie went abroad
and only returned % he married es above
narrated She will accompany her husband
10 his Mexican mine and probably give up
story writing.

where he worked at the cooper trade
till the year 1862. when he removed to
Cassville. While living at Dubuque MIR.
Bailey and his wife adopted little girl
only twenty months old, her name was
Maggie Weston. The adopted child
enjoyed the undivided parental affec-
ton of the foster parents, which affec-
ton she fully returned as a. dutiful
daughter, and the first shadow that
clouded her young life came over her
when some of their meddlesome neigh
bors revealed to her the fact that she
was not the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bailey. In 1875 Mr.. Bailey returned to
Waterloo, where he lived on a farm till
the year 1880, when he again removed
to Dubuque and worked at his trade
until 1883, but his health failing he re-
moved to Ossiap, Iowa, in the vain
hope of regaining il. He has been an
invalid for several years. He leaves a
WlIe ana an adopted daughter TO mourn
his death. Mr.. Frank Ipher, of Ossian,
Iowa, assisted in bringing the remains
to Cassville. Only few of the rela-
tives were able to attend the funeral.
They were Jacob Reed and his SOD. Mr.,
NJ. Turner and his wife and two of his
sons from Waterloo. and Thos. Dayken,
brother-in-law of Maggie Weston, of
Dubuque. There was an impressive
funeral sermon preached on Sunday
afternoon at the Baptist church by Rev.
G. d. Stevens, and the large attendance
at the funeral sermon on the part of the
old residents of Cassyille shows that
Mr.. Bailey was highly respected by his
old neighbors. The mourning widow
and foster daughter return to Ossian,
Iowa, and take with them the heartfelt,
sympathy of their old neighbours
